Success coaching is a support service that assists students with managing their time and workloads, communicating with faculty and staff, utilizing all free campus resources, and addressing faculty-issued alerts in JSU Navigate. Adult learners are also given a short assessment called Life 101. It assesses students’ strengths and weaknesses in areas such as developing a growth mindset, clearly communicating, working in teams, problem solving, adapting to change, and displaying academic grit.
